Tire Eater on Orvilla Rd headed away from 309. - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Charged SVTF · 02-27-2008, 10:13 PM

Basically title says it all. Hit a pothole that wasn't there the other day. Didn't claim the wheel, but punctured my tire. It definitely can claim a wheel too. Just my heavy wheel stood up to the impact.

Just a warning to watch out for it for you local Montgomery County boys and girls. Its not too far from 309. Probably a half mile up headed away from 309. Took the life of my right front.

So if you have a used 215/45/17 I can grab for a couple weeks till Tax return come in. Would be much appreciated!!!!

There is a NASTY one right dead center of 309 near the Cycle Center too. Watch out guys, they're everywhere right now.

Lost a rim and tire last year to one of these things. :/

Sucks ass...the stock wheels that came with the car before i put on these euro versios, just bent at every one...no matter how little. One actually cracked the wheel. Thank god Ford learned to build/source a better wheel.

PA roads are why I'm hesitant to get wheels in the first place. These roads suck.

I would hate to bend another rim. I already bent 1 lol.....I'm glad they covered the ones in Souderton up. I seriously think if I would have hit one, my car would have bottomed out. That's how bad they were lol.

Also guys, if you are turning into the old entrance to Snyder Square (where the new Giant is) from Cowpath, there is a pothole that will eat small children...keep your eyes peeled!

DPancoast · 02-28-2008, 02:10 PM

aha awesome visual of small children getting eaten by a pothole with angry eyebrows.

that one sucks, i usually get pizza from there once a week (italia's, but its getting really really slow) usually take the rents suv if not i have to head up to the other entrance in my car its that bad. that area serisouly needs to be reworked traffic wise the two streets in hatfield really dont need to be timed diffrently.

This whole area sucks for traffic.

I am from the Lehigh Valley, and lights up there seem to be timed more to aid the flow of traffic. Get people from place to place if you will. As much as 22 sucks, its nice to be able to get on a road and go somewhere quickly!

Down here, all they want to do is stop people. Every light, red, red, red. No flow or "wave" to ride like you can in a city. Sucks balls.

with every new post, i am waiting for people to become victims....haha....im so mean and probably just hexed myself.

mike92stealthtt · 03-04-2008, 06:10 PM

Damn, I have yet to be able to drive my car around Hatfield since I put my rims on because I've had my car up at college. I really hope my 18's with 265/35/18 will be able to take the abuse.

If you hit any of the ones in this thread, good luck with that.

I saw the one that this thread was started about the other day, scared the **** out of me. I'm not the greatest with street names around here yet...after I saw it I realized it was the one that Charged SVTF posted about. Holy **** is all I have to say.

Charged SVTF · 03-05-2008, 01:01 AM

i think they took care of it today. I am sure the township had complaints on that one.

bmatyeah · 03-05-2008, 01:17 AM

are we talking about the one at orvilla/cowpath right at the vinny's light?

Zillon · 03-05-2008, 03:20 AM

Maybe I won't throw my wheels on when I get home on Friday...

Then again, if I hit a pothole with my car, I'll probably fall into the Land of the Lost.

No, but that one sucks too! Are you talking about the one in the "straight" lane if going towards 309 on Cowpath?

The original one was on the golf course side of Orvilla coming back from 309.
